FilmSchoolRejects posted a top-10 of the biggest movie franchises ever. I would have put The Matrix & The X-Men in their list, and maybe, just maybe Star Trek, but overall, it’s a good list.

What really strikes me though, is that all these movies are either sci-fi or fantasy (even James Bond is pretty out of this world). Obviously, non-reality stuff sell. People love it. And yet, very few good sci-fi movies are made these days. Maybe, like, 6-10 a year. And the last space/starship-based movie was Serenity, in 2005.
